120° Piggable 3-Way Diverter Valve

Hyperfore piggable 3-way diverter valve features:

The 3 ports of the diverter valve are evenly positioned at 120 degree angles. As a result, pigging can start from one starting point to the other two destinations. The product can be transferred smoothly. Its sanitary design makes no cleaning blind spots, both its inner passage and outer shell can be cleaned thoroughly via CIP.

Hyperfore 3-way diverter valve is robust and effective, and maintenance frequency is very low, it is automatic and more efficient than a pigging diverter panel. The 3-way diverter valve is contributed to reduced launching stations, it is suitable for single source to multiple destinations, or multiple source to multiple destinations applications. The piggable valve can be applied across diverse industries, include food, beverage, sauce, syrup, cleaning agent, chemicals, paints, lithium battery slurry.

Case Study

Below is an automatic pigging system PID Hyperfore designed for our customer who manufactures toothpaste. The customer’s requirements were challenging: to handle 8 different kinds of toothpastes pipelines, pigging started from eight source tanks to eight destination storage tanks. In order to ensure maximum product recovery and prevent cross-contamination, we implemented 120° 3-way diverter valves in this project. After the first pipeline production procedure was over, the pig began the recovering work. First, it started from the launcher and arrived at the receiver, then the pig was driven back to the laucher. This marked the conclusion of the first production and pigging cycle. Subsequently, the production of the second pipeline began, transferring a different toothpaste product. when the production was over, the pigging procedure began. During this phase, the majority of the product was recovered ,only a very thin film of toothpaste was left on the inner wall of the pipeline.

This highly efficient recovery process was consistently repeated for all remaining pipelines. As a result, more than 99.5% of the residued toothpaste was saved. Our pigging solution significantly improved yields, reduced waste and enhanced efficiency.

Case Study

We successfully designed and delivered an automated pigging solution for a large Asian mayonnaise manufacturer. Accordingly, we provided an automatic pigging solution, including pigging systems, electric control cabinet and software. It was pigging from single source to single storage tank, in order to recover the product, and drain off the mayonnaise that contaminated by metal, we recommended the implementation of the 120° piggable 3-way diverter valve to solve the problems. The pigging procedure started after produciton. After pigging, more than 99.5% of the mayonnaise was recovered. Furthermore, should metal contamination be found in the product in the pipeline, this part of product would be diverted and drained via one of the dedicated passages of the 120° 3-way diverter valve.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are the main kinds of applications they are suited to:

1.Multiple liquid product transfer 2.Multiple destionation liquid product transfer

3.Pigging system or product recovery process

4.Polluted product diversion and isolation

Here are a few primary benefits of using Hyperfore 120°piggable 3-way diverter valves.

Enhancing flexibility: The product flow can be directed from a single source to either of two destinations (or vice versa). Optimizing liquid transfer: It can also be utilized independantly of a pigging system to simply divert and control the flow. Compatibility with pigging system: It is fully compatible with a pigging system, a pig can pass easily through the valve.

Optimizing pigging process: It performs the function of an intermediate station, reducing the overall number of launching stations.

Hyperfore pig detector is a device to find the position of pig within the pipeline. It is an important part of a pigging system. Typically, it is located near the launching station and the receiving station. But for very long pipeline, a pig detector is installed every ten meters. It is suitable for manual, automatic, semi-automatic pigging systems.

Yes. our 120° piggable 3-way diverter valve is CIP compatible.

It features CIP fluid inlet and outlet at the bottom of the valve. The valve cavity can be thoroughly cleaned via the CIP system. The inner passages of the valves can be effectively cleaned with the connection pipelines.

Both 3D bend and 5D bends are fit for the pigging system, typically, long bend is better than short bend. We recommend 3D bend and 5D bend for a pigging system.

Hyperfore pig detection unit is available in two types, offering detection range of 60mm and 100mm respectively. Important to realize, which type to choose depends on the diameter of your pipe and the product being transferred. Regardless of the model chosen, both types of pig detectors can effectively locate the position of the pig.
